The iPhone 7 Plus has threecameras. It has dual rear 12-megapixel cameras (one wide-angle with an f/1.8 aperture and one telephoto with a f/2.8 aperture) that use software to emulate a 2x optical zoom as well as a 10x digital zoom. These rear cameras also provide optical image stabilization, a 6-element lens, and wide color capture. The front “FaceTime HD” camera is 7 megapixels and supports 1080p video capture.

The iPhone 7 Plus uses an aluminum case and is splash, water, and dust-resistant (IP67), but not water-proof, and it has stereo speakers and a Lightning port, but uses the lightning connector for headphones. It originally was available in five metallic color options — “silver,” which has a white glass front and a silver colored back; “gold,” which has a white glass front and a gold colored back; “rose gold,” which has a white glass front and a pink-tinted gold colored back; and introduces two new options, “black” (pictured) which has a black glass front and a matte black back; and “jet black,” which has a black glass front and a high-gloss black anodized and polished black aluminum back. Apple warns that the “jet black” finish “may show fine micro-abrasions with use.”

Internally, the iPhone 7 Plus is powered by a 64-bit “Apple A10 Fusion” processor with four cores — two high performance cores and two high efficiency cores — and has 3 GB of RAM, as well as 32 GB, 128 GB, or 256 GB of flash storage (jet black and red options originally were only available in 128 GB and 256 GB capacities, although Apple introduced a 32 GB jet black variant on September 12, 2017 when it also discontinued the 256 GB capacity for all colors). It also supports 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi with MIMO, Bluetooth 4.2, LTE (4G), and NFC for Apple Pay.

Apple estimates that the iPhone 7 Plus provides “up to” 60 hours of audio playback, 21 hours of talk time on 3G, 13 hours of Internet use on 3G, 13 hours of Internet use on LTE, 15 hours of Internet use on Wi-Fi, 14 hours of wireless video playback and “up to” 16 days of standby time.
